The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Time flies when you're busy.

He filmed two movies in a row, from March last year to the end of January this year, and was only away from the film crew for a little over a month.

Even so, he still flies all over the world, either to do business or to participate in various events to maintain his public profile.

Although she was with her most of the time, she was mainly cared for by nannies and tutors, and she and Lu Nanting could only play with her in their spare time.

So much so that on this day, Gu Lanxi was sitting in the living room reading a book when she saw Tuantuan running in from the garden, clutching a blooming winter plum blossom and laughing. She felt that Tuantuan had grown up a lot all of a sudden.

That cute and innocent look she had before is almost gone.

My hair grew longer, I ran more nimbly, and I grew taller, like a round piece of clay that had suddenly been stretched out.

When I held it in my arms, its weight was a little different from what I remembered.

She was shocked to realize that Tuantuan had been growing up rapidly in places she couldn't see.

When she was focused on her work, she really missed out on a lot.

As soon as filming wrapped up, Gu Lanxi packed her bags and returned to Beijing with her child. Immediately afterward, Sister Mei arrived with more than a dozen scripts that she had already selected.

Gu Lanxi had just realized that she had neglected her child a lot this year, and was in a bad mood. She took the book and quickly flipped through it, only to find that this was not good and that was not right. She had no desire to take on any new roles.

When you've been immersed in the lives of movie characters for a long time, the sudden end and return to reality can create a strong sense of disconnect.

The movie "Rebooting Life" is adapted from her mother's story. During the filming process, she was particularly immersed in the role, and it was indeed a bit difficult to suddenly detach herself from it.

Seeing that it wasn't a good time to talk about this topic, Sister Mei didn't press her. Instead, she stayed for a meal and had a long chat with her for the afternoon.

As a professional, she suggested to Gu Lanxi that she take some time to spend with her child before continuing her journey.

“I also have children, and I understand how you feel. But you have to know that children have their own lives, and you have your own careers. Perhaps many times, children would rather make their own way in the world than rely on us as much as we imagine.”

To support her point of view, she even used herself as an example.

Mei Jie's son, Mei Xingjian, in order to achieve something to impress his future mother-in-law, went so far as to try his hand at making BL dramas. After failing to achieve anything, he was sent to the countryside by Gu Lanxi's unethical suggestion to learn how to raise chickens from Xiao Xu, Lu Nanting's former assistant. He then fell in love with the busy yet down-to-earth life of a new farmer and has now leased a mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, embarking on a unique path of farming for young Beijingers. In less than a year, he has gained more than two million fans across the internet.

Now, let alone clinging to his mother, he lives a very fulfilling life, juggling both career and love, and is incredibly successful.

Mei-jie would occasionally miss him and say she wanted to visit him, but she always had to call ahead to see if he was busy.

Gu Lanxi said she felt comforted, but not much.

There was no way around it; Mei Xingjian was a mischievous boy since he was little, while their Tuantuan was a soft and adorable little princess.

Can parenting styles be the same?

After pondering all night, the next morning, Gu Lanxi took out a large glass bottle and placed it in front of Tuantuan.

“Honey, you can write down your wish and put it in this bottle, and Mom and Dad will try our best to make it come true for you.”

Early in the morning, Tuantuan had just gotten up, her hair all messed up like a little lion. Suddenly, she found a cold glass bottle in her arms. Her hand trembled, and she almost pushed the bottle to the ground.

When she understood what her mother meant, Tuantuan's reaction was quite calm. She just sleepily replied "Oh," then calmly got up, changed her diaper, picked up the clothes at the foot of the bed, and asked Gu Lanxi to put them on her. Only after she had put on her socks and got off the bed did she nod seriously.

Since her mother wants to play this, she will try her best to make time to play with her mother.

But for the time being, she really couldn't think of anything to write.

Because from childhood to adulthood, she has never encountered a wish that could not be fulfilled.

This put her in a very difficult position.

"What should I write??? Grandma, please teach me!"

That day, Tuantuan had a very complicated time.

She couldn't even wrap her arms around the huge bottle, and from morning till afternoon, there wasn't a single note inside.

While Gu Lanxi was at the company, Tuantuan quickly video-called her grandmother for help.

In response, Zhang Ruolan offered the following advice:
"Just find something you find interesting, but you've never done before. You need to understand that your mom is doing this simply because she wants to spend more time with you, understand?"

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time before hanging up the video call. Tuantuan picked up a pen and paper and racked her brains until she finally came up with an idea.

She wanted a little wooden house built in a tree, like the kind where fairies live in fairy tales!
To this end, she even found a fairy tale book, opened it, grabbed a colored pen, and drew a picture based on it.

For the sake of privacy, their house is not only separated from their neighbors by a wall, but also has many large trees in the yard, making it entirely possible to fulfill this wish.

Tuantuan was very satisfied and flipped through many fairy tale books before finding the style she liked.

When Gu Lanxi returned home from get off work that evening, she saw Tuantuan standing expectantly at the door, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her. Behind her, her aunt was holding a large glass bottle with a folded A4 sheet of paper inside. Gu Lanxi couldn't help but smile and picked Tuantuan up with delight.

"Wow, our little one is amazing! You actually came up with a wish!"

When Gu Lanxi reached out and pulled out the piece of paper, she saw that the child wanted a small wooden house. Without saying a word, she called Aunt Ding over in front of the child and instructed her to find a reliable designer and buy the materials.

Repairing this in the yard depends on what the property management says; she can't communicate with them personally, so leaving it to Aunt Ding is fine. As for hiring a designer, that's obviously for the safety of the cabin.

After all, even a small log cabin is still a house, and issues such as structure and material strength need to be considered.

Once the designer has completed the drawings and the relevant permits are obtained, she and Lu Nanting will have some experience since they have assembled rabbit houses before. They can finish it in their spare time.

Aunt Ding is not only skilled in flower care, but also in landscaping.

Aunt Ding had given us a lot of advice when we were building a little house for the rabbits.

When she learned that Tuantuan wanted a log cabin, she had already chosen the most suitable tree in the yard that afternoon.

There aren't many big trees in the yard. A few fruit trees have brittle wood, so they're not suitable. But the few pine trees on the east side are perfect.

The Chinese pine has many branches and a thick trunk. The five trees are planted in a 3+2 pattern, with a wooden house built between the three trees and the other two trees enough to support a slide.

Tuantuan is now over a year old and is at the age where she loves slides.

Within two days, everything was ready. All the materials were prepared and placed in the target location. The couple changed into durable work jackets, picked up their tools, and got to work.

Tuantuan watched from the side, itching to join in. The two were worried about her safety, so they only allowed her to watch from a distance. Remembering that her mother always had a camera and was always taking pictures, Tuantuan suddenly had a bright idea and asked if she could take a picture.
"I feel so happy that my parents have done these things for me, and I want to keep this as a memento!"

The couple has taken so many photos of their child from childhood to adulthood that they've filled an entire bookshelf, and Tuantuan has her own thoughts on it.

"This is just my first wish. I want to collect a thousand and one more. When I grow up, when I talk about my thousand and one wishes, everyone will know how happy I am!"

The couple were tightening screws when they heard this and had a sudden inspiration: why not make a documentary?
The staff at Lu Nanting's studio will be busy with concerts for the next two or three years. Chen Lei is still pregnant and will have to wait a long time to return to work. Gu Lanxi's staff are idle when she is not working, so they can put together a self-produced program, which can be released on any platform.

They acted on their idea immediately. The family of three discussed it and then invited the staff to their home.

This is the advantage of a strong team.

Lu Nanting can release his own record and handle everything himself, and it's also easy for Gu Lanxi to make any kind of film she wants.

When Tuantuan was a few months old, she started hanging out with Gu Lanxi on set. At one year and five months old, she had been on set for at least eight months and was quite familiar with filming.

Upon learning that her parents were going to document this event for her, she was immediately inspired and went back to her room to start writing notes.

After the couple spent two days assembling the cabin and painting it beautifully, they found that the glass bottle was already filled with a thick layer of paint.

I randomly picked a picture; the child wanted to see real firecrackers.

As the year draws to a close, there's been a lot of publicity about banning fireworks and firecrackers. I've looked into this before and have always been curious about it, and now I finally remember.

Let's draw another one. Tuantuan wants a song that belongs only to her.

Because she had seen fan support activities before; her father's fans had their own songs, her mother's fans had their own songs, and their mutual fans also had their own songs.

Although Lu Nanting was very busy, he still agreed.

When she drew another one, she drew a little figure standing in the center of an empty stage.

Tuantuan smiled a little shyly: "Dad, do you think anyone will come to my concert?"

The two never expected their child to have such thoughts!

Everyone was surprised and wanted to know what she was thinking.

Tuantuan has a very quick mind and often comes out with a witty remark that even adults wouldn't expect.

“My teacher told me yesterday that life is a wilderness, and young people should dare to fight and take risks. But I think that following in one’s father’s footsteps is the easiest thing in the world to do!”

"Oh! You even know about sons following in their fathers' footsteps?"

The conversation made the two of them laugh uncontrollably. That evening, when they mentioned Tuantuan's wish in the family group chat, the whole family expressed their support. Only her cousin, Lu Jianing, called to seriously discuss with her just how difficult it is for "the student to surpass the master".

But sometimes, we have to admit that the cruelest thing in this world is talent.

People are different from the moment they are born.

Lu Zhixian inherited her mother's high intelligence and received a lot of love and careful upbringing. As long as she wants to and is willing to work hard for it, she can realize all her wishes within her power.

There are far more than one thousand and one.

On her second birthday, she received a song specially written for her by her father.

At three and a half years old, at the final stop of Lu Nanting's fourth tour, Lu Zhixian stepped onto the stage for the first time. With his back to the audience, he steadily sang "I Am Tuantuan". After finishing, he turned to look at the audience, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Tuantuan, and my name is Lu Zhixian."

In front of 90,000 people at the Bird's Nest, he officially introduced himself to the world, thus beginning his magnificent life as the strongest second-generation star in the universe.

The following spring, the Lanting couple announced their second child, causing server crashes on major online platforms with just a simple message: "Hello everyone, my name is Yuanyuan."

From this point on, everything is complete. (End of Chapter)
